Abstract
A brake pad arrangement for a disc brake of a vehicle braking system includes at least one brake pad carrier plate and at least one friction lining is attached to the at least one brake pad carrier plate, wherein the brake pad carrier plate has at least one fastening section which is configured for fastening the brake pad restoring device, wherein the fastening section has at least one bearing surface for the brake pad restoring device, wherein the at least one bearing surface extends obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the brake pad carrier plate.
Claims19
A brake pad arrangement for a disc brake of a vehicle braking system, having:
- at least one brake pad carrier plate and
- at least one friction pad, which is attached to the at least one brake pad carrier plate,
- wherein the brake pad carrier plate has first and second fastening sections, which are designed for fastening at least one brake pad return device,
- wherein each of the first and second fastening sections has at least one substantially flat bearing surface for an associated brake pad return device, and each of the-bearing surfaces extends obliquely, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the brake pad carrier plate, from a first longitudinal end of the bearing surface to a second longitudinal end of the bearing surface such that the first longitudinal end is spaced further in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis than the second longitudinal end, the radial direction being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the at least one bearing surface of the first fastening section and the at least one bearing surface of the second fastening section extending in parallel to one another.

- at least one friction pad attached to the first brake pad carrier plate;
- at least one friction pad attached to the second brake pad carrier plate;
- a first holding pin extending through first openings in each of the first and second brake pad carrier plates, the first holding pin being adjacent the first and second fastening sections;
- a first brake pad return device including a first fastening device, a first return unit having a first receiving section and a second return unit having a second receiving section, the first fastening device having a first projection via which the first brake pad return device is directly fastened to the first holding pin, the first and second return units being connected to opposing sides of the first fastening device, the first receiving section being directly supported on the bearing surface of the first fastening section and the second receiving section being directly supported on the bearing surface of the second fastening section such that the first brake pad return device is fastened to the first and second fastening sections via the first and second receiving sections;
- a second holding pin extending through second openings in each of the first and second brake pad carrier plates, the second holding pin being spaced from the first holding pin and adjacent the third and fourth fastening sections;
- and
- a second brake pad return device structurally separate and spaced from the first brake pad return device, the second brake pad return device including a second fastening device, a third return unit having a third receiving section and a fourth return unit having a fourth receiving section, the second fastening device having a second projection via which the second brake pad return device is fastened to the second holding pin, the third and fourth return units being connected to opposing sides of the second fastening device, the third receiving section being supported on the bearing surface of the third fastening section and the fourth receiving section being supported on the bearing surface of the fourth fastening section such that the second brake pad return device is fastened to the third and fourth fastening sections via the third and fourth receiving sections.
